157   The \ttbar\ background prediction is obtained from MC, with corrections
158   derived from control samples in data. The uncertainty associated with

287   \item In order to fully (as opposed as 1$\sigma$) cover the
288   alternative MC variations in region A we would have to take a
289   systematic
290 < uncertainty of $\approx 10\%$.  This would be driven by the
290 > uncertainty of $\approx 10\%$ instead of $5\%$.  This would be driven by the
291   scale up/scale down variations, see Table~\ref{tab:fracdiff}.

874 > The contribution to the total uncertainty from each source is given in Tables~\ref{tab:relativeuncertaintycomponents} and~\ref{tab:uncertaintycomponents} for the relative and absolute uncertainties, respectively. In the low-\met\ regions the dominant uncertainty comes from the top tail-to-peak ratio, $R_{top}$ (Section~\ref{sec:ttp}), while in the high-\met\ regions the \ttll\ systematic uncertainty dominates (Section~\ref{sec:ttdilbkgunc}).
